that is one of the reporters who co-wrote the story used to work in the hartford office years ago.on't know if that's exactly why. doj didn't give any explanation about why they were targeting specific phone lines but that's the only one i can come up with. >> bill: how do they get the phone records? they go to the phone company and say we're the united states government, we demand the records? >> presumably that's how they did it. they only found out in a terse e-mail on friday that these were seized. it is not as if the a.p. was involved in a protracted -- they got them from the phone companies and they already had them on friday when they told the a.p. they had them. >> bill: do we know how high up in the justice department it was given? >> supposed to be signed off by the attorney general. but the doj has not said either way whether holder -- ever -- eric holder had signed off on this. what's so jarring about this one is that the justice department, when they are investigating something like this, a leak investigation, they're supposed to go through all reasonable attempts to g

they recovered numbers for the new york, washington and hartford offices and the main number for ap reporters in the house of representatives press gallery. the justice department notified them of the seizure on friday, the tenth. now there is nothing to suggest actual phone conversations were monitored. the ceo of ap is furious and he let the justice department know it. gary pruitt in a letter to eric holder says these records reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the news gathering activities undertaken by the ap during a two-month period. provide a rod map to the news gajing operations and disclose information about ap's activities and operation that's the government has no right to know. now pruitt wants justice to return all of those records and destroy the copies. on monday afternoon we got this response from the u.s. attorney's office, "regulations require us to make every reasonable effort to obtain information through alternative means before even considering a subpoena for the phone records of a member of the media. the american civil liberties union criticiz

offices here in washington, new york and hartford. that i think is a somewhat surprising aspect to this. >> pete, thank you. i have to point out we're looking at the chairman of the committee, a republican from virginia. he is talking about the boston bombings. this hearing ostensibly brought to discuss law enforcement's ability to connect the dots and have potentially avoiding -- we expect a lot of the questioning to focus on, pete, what you're talking about with regard to the ap and phone records. mike, i want to talk to you about the story that continues to unfold in ways that are fascinating and i think troubling for the administration, the irs story. can you bring us -- i feel like every 24 hours, i try not to sleep all that much, but when i do sleep action i feel like i miss things. this story pretty damns, that groups pass through this tax-exempt -- what's the latest and i guess more importantly, where do we go, if we know? >> on the irs story, it's not surprising that liberal groups would have sailed through, gotten their 501-

hartford, connecticut and the house of representatives. the letter states that the extraordinary action was taken without advanced notice to the a.p. or journalists affected. in possible justification for overbroad communications of the associated press and its reporters. these records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources. we regard this action by the department of justice as a serious interference with the a.p.'s constitutional rights to gather and report the news. while the justice department's investigation and its apparent connection to the a.p. have not been publicly disposed by the department. the letter came from one of two u.s. attorneys assigned in june of last year to lead criminal investigations into national security intelligence leaks. in a statement made today the u.s. attorney's office said quote we must notify the media organization in advance unless doing so would pose a substantial threat to the integrity of the investigation. because we value the freedom of the press we are always careful and delib
